I have nothing to do with that flight somebody else manipulated the controls. Identify yourself!
It is true, I am the one responsible for that track around Long Island, and it was a blast.
I guess I'll take this opportunity to introduce myself, I've tried a few times before in other threads, but they never got a wide audience.
Anyway, I'm Greg and I have already met a few of you from here in my travels with Vlad. I just recently purchased an RV-9 empannage kit second hand and very partially completed. I am still not sure if I am going to continue through with this kit (or a new one), or if I will just eventually buy a flying RV.
I am an air traffic controller at New York center, so I'd be happy to answer any ATC-related questions anyone may have, as I am sure I will have many builder-related questions. I work oceanic airspace though, and seldom work any aircraft with a prop, let alone a piston engine, so my knowledge may not have much relevance. I would also welcome anyone to stop by my neighborhood to say hello or check out my shop and give me help or advice. I'm a 10 minute drive from ISP and 5 minutes from 23N.
The purpose of that flight was to test a new toy I picked up, a Garmin Virb Elite action camera. My video editing skills are a little rusty, but there will eventually be a video from that flight.

Greg, like you I am a huge fan of the RV's but three kid'$ college and grad $chool have kept me flying a nice Cessna 150 for the time being. I keep it at HWV but pass by Bayport on my way out east. Send me a PM if you are interested in flying low and slow while you build the RV.
when in dought just buy one and enjoy flying and playing with one. sounds like you need to make more videos. cant wait to see your work. i could probably hook you up with some hangar space with friends at gabreski, north side.

Go easy on me, it is my first attempt at shooting and editing a flying video. The takeoff was awful.

Greg, very familiar with everything in your video, almost. Where is the grass strip at the 2:48 mark showing a heading of approximately 200 degrees? At first I thought it was Rose's airport in Orient but heading and small piece of land don't match up?
Nice touch BTW. Thanks!
